Homecoming: Mito Is Pregnant (Bonus chapter for "I Picked Up Your Cat While It Was Out for a Walk")

Time flies, in the blink of an eye...

Several more days have passed.

The news that Uchiha Chō had become the Army Commander caused a small stir within the clan.

Upon hearing this, everyone's first reaction was that it was related to Uchiha Kyosuke.

A few conspiracy theorists have also linked this incident to a power struggle within the clan.

He believed that Kyosuke was behind it all, taking advantage of the Clan Leader's trust in him to force his sister-in-law into the position of Army Commander.

Amidst all the suspicions, Uchiha Chō's journey to power was by no means smooth sailing.

Fortunately, she was never a weak woman.

On the day she took office, Die led the entire team to the Training Ground for an internal legion competition under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"I'm a very simple person; whoever has the ability can rise to the top."

"Deputy Army Commander, the positions of all the major commanders are right here. If you have the guts, come up and try."

For many commoner ninjas, being strong is enough to rise to the top, which is almost like a meteoric rise.

Soon, those who believed they had the ability to fight back stepped forward and began to challenge the ambition called power.

The battle that day drew the attention of most of the clan's territory, and even Uchiha Izuna, who had just returned from a mission, personally came to watch.

Soon, a Deputy Army Commander and four generals stepped forward. They were all ruthless individuals who had fought their way out of the vast crowd through sheer strength.

Just when everyone thought the matter would end there, Uchiha Chō, the Army Commander, suddenly stepped forward and proposed to personally test the ideas of her subordinates.

Only then did everyone realize that all their actions today had been a prelude to this moment.

But does she have the ability?

Facing countless questioning gazes, Uchiha Chō smiled faintly, and a pattern resembling flower petals suddenly bloomed, instantly plunging the surroundings into a deathly silence.

A Mangekyō?!

Wait a minute, didn't she get her Army Commander position by sleeping with Kyosuke? How could she possibly have opened those eyes?

In a daze, everyone realized that all their previous guesses were wrong.

Women who rise to power do so entirely through their own abilities.

"I knew it! Lord Kyosuke isn't that kind of person," someone couldn't help but say after the fact.

Faced with the butterfly's Mangekyō, the five subordinates exchanged glances and immediately felt immense pressure, even having the illusion of facing three towering mountains within their own tribe.

The so-called three towering figures were Madara, Kyosuke, Izuna, who were hailed as the Uchiha Three Prodigies in their youth.

Three pairs of Mangekyō, how terrifying and spectacular! I never expected that today they would suddenly become four pairs.

While slightly alarmed, many members of the tribe began to feel elated.

Four pairs of Mangekyō! Doesn't that mean the Uchiha is about to soar to new heights?

"The unification of the Land of Fire is just around the corner."

"No, we must unify the entire Shinobi World."

"Cough, buddy, you've gone a bit overboard..."

Amidst great anticipation, Uchiha Chō's battle against her five subordinates began.

Needless to say, her victory was predetermined from the start.

However, the entire battle... well, to put it another way, left many people somewhat confused.

The sudden damage to the arena is one thing, but is it reasonable for a Jonin to trip over a rock during a battle?

And that Deputy Army Commander, we know you're an excellent Ninjutsu, but can you please stop throwing your own people at us?

What's wrong with us? Has everyone collectively lost their minds?

Only those members of the clan who had a deep understanding of Mangekyō could vaguely guess the crux of the problem.

In this way, Uchiha Chō made a name for herself, becoming the fourth recognized super strong member of the clan after the three heroes.

Of course, these things have little to do with Mito leave their water pipes idle at home.

She's not in the mood to pay attention to newly emerging powerhouses...

The Ponytail Princess was more concerned about her belly, which didn't seem to show much movement.

She is pregnant.

Walking along the familiar streets, Kyosuke Teuchi his familiar clansmen.

"It feels so good to be home." He was overjoyed.

Congratulations!

"Congratulations, Lord Kyosuke."

"Sigh, Kyosuke, you'll have to keep up the good work."

Staring at the middle-aged man who kept patting his shoulder, Kyosuke was full of questions, thinking to himself, "Does everyone already know that I've awakened the Eternal Eye?"

That's outrageous!

"I... I'll keep trying." Kyosuke replied with a wry smile, brushing off the man's pleas. He continued walking, soon arriving at his front door.

Then he saw a group of servants busily carrying things into the house.

"Ah, Kyosuke- sama is back~" Soon, someone noticed the male homeowner at the door.

The next second, a large group of people swarmed around, their thumbs constantly rubbing their index and middle fingers, looking exactly like themselves in a past life asking their parents for money.

"... In broad daylight, are you trying to rob me?" Kyosuke still hadn't figured out what was going on.

Seeing the male homeowner's bewildered expression, everyone began to describe the situation in their own words.

The reason she's so busy is that Mito is now dissatisfied with everything, and the layout of her house has been changed time and time again.

There are two main reasons for my unhappiness.

Firstly, Kyosuke hadn't returned for a long time; secondly, she was now pregnant, so her emotions were bound to fluctuate.

"I thought something was wrong, but it turns out she's pregnant..." Kyosuke waved his hand, just about to shake off the crowd, when he suddenly seemed to realize something.

Mito is pregnant...

Come to think of it, she seems to be my wife...

I'm going to be a dad?!

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Kyosuke suddenly realized what was happening and threw banknotes into the air.

Amid the cheers of the servants, he ran towards the master bedroom, scattering money as he went. Such Ichiraku joyous occasion should be shared by everyone.

Inside the room, Mito, sensing his return, had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Kyosuke ~"

Slowly opening her arms, Mito's gentle, watery face suddenly changed, and she reached out, several Adamantine Sealing Chains whistling as they attacked him.

"You bastard, at least you know how to come home!"

"Ah!!!"

Upon hearing the master's scream, the servants who were picking up the money all stopped abruptly.

Then, as if nothing had happened, they continued to search the ground carefully, looking for a banknote or two hidden in the crevices.

After a while of playful banter, the newlyweds, feeling as if they were newly married after a long separation, finally snuggled together and whispered sweet nothings.

"Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" the Ponytail asked, voicing the question every parent is curious about.

"Whatever," Kyosuke, seemingly unconcerned.

If you have a boy this time, you'll have a girl next time, and vice versa.

The Sage of Six Paths had two children; he couldn't possibly only have one, that would be beneath him.

As they chatted, the two brought up a very crucial issue.

What should I name my baby after he/she is born?
